I cant believe they actually did it. I thought this was going to be pure vaporware.

The answer to a question no one asked...
I guess I'm not feeling any enthusiasm for that look and trying to find any advantage or improvement it brings to the table.

My thoughts exactly. Why destroy the beautiful C7 coupe lines for an extra, what, 1 cu ft.?

I love wagons, my other car is an Audi Allroad. But the C7 haunches are too beautiful to be messed with IMO.

Thanks - this is the prototype, with production now commencing. We've had quite a bit of interest, and are making available from CallawayCars.com and through our authorized dealers.

Thanks for following. It's been a long time in the making...

Maybe you can help me Chris. I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking at. Is this a body kit? Does it have any function? Not trying to be a wise *** but I just don't get it.

No problem - the Callaway AeroWagen is a replacement hatch in Carbon Fiber, and much more:
TheAeroWagen includes deck spoiler, hatch, halo, hatch spoiler, glass, and detailed package shelf.

It provides a unique style, and offers additional cargo hatch space.

You really have to appreciate the engineering and design efforts behind this and I have to say, it isn't terrible. It has a bit of the Evoque rear hatch thing going on and I would have continued the contours of the roof panel onto the top of the hatch, instead of being so flat, but I haven't seen it yet in person yet, so it may be fine. But so much better than the 70's attempt that I had seen back in the day and immediately questioned, why? But the Calloway design is cool and is befitting of the car and it doesn't look like an ill conceived aftermarket add on, so kudos. I love the "Shooting Star" reference dating back to days of fox hunting and needing space for saddles and equipment. I doubt what is left of the Gentry crowd would be interested in the car nevertheless the add on. But if you have to be a bit different, it's a nice option. Well done Calloway!

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

For someone who only has one car????
For someone who wants to be able to bring more supplies for a longer road trip?


He!!, I dunno...
